ndiag

ndiag is a "high-level architecture" diagramming/documentation tool.

Key features of ndiag are:

  • N-diagrams: Generate multiple "diagrams and documents" (views) from a single configuration.
  • Nested-clusters: Nodes and components can be clustered in nested layers
  • Provides the ability to check the difference between the architecture and the actual system.

Usage

$ ndiag doc -c ndiag.yml --rm-dist

Getting Started

Add ndiag.yml (Full version is here).
